Libya and Morocco have taken final steps to resume flights after a 9-year hiatus
Libya is seeking to resume direct flights with Morocco after a nine-year hiatus. The decision of both countries was facilitated by the visit of representatives from Royal Air Morocco to the country.
This would be a significant step for the Libyan aviation sector, which has been isolated from the rest of the world for the past decade. According to Simple Flying, only a few international airlines still serve Libya's airports.
A delegation from Royal Air Morocco visited Libya last week to assess security conditions and operational arrangements at Mitiga International Airport, which is currently the only airport serving the Libyan capital, Tripoli.
The past 10 years have been difficult for the country, which was isolated by the Second Libyan Civil War in 2014.
However, the visit of Royal Air Morocco representatives indicates their intention to return to the country if Mitiga Airport meets the recommendations of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
The resumption of flights between Libya and Morocco will have a significant impact on the country's economy and tourism.
Although no final announcement of new flights has been made yet, it is expected that the decision to resume flights will be announced soon.
As previously reported by TravelWise, Lufthansa intends to gradually resume flights after the end of the ground staff strike in Frankfurt and Munich.
